Exhaust tips
Which do you guys prefer, the ones that screw on, or the ones that have to be welded on? I was told the ones that have to be welded are better quality, last longer, and sound better. But they're also more expensive. Also what size do you go with on average? I have a 2.5 in w/a flowmaster 80 series on my car.

You can weld the screw on kind, ya know.... Mine are screw on, and it would be nice to be able to take them off, but they're welded now. Never know when one of those things will loosen up and fall off.

Id go with the screw one's so you could change them with ease if you ever wanted to. I think some 3.5 Inch tips would like pretty nice

Unfortunately I do not. I have the full 3" flowmaster american thunder catback. But the previous owner decided he did not want to put on the tips on I guess. But I seen 3.5's on some thirdgens and they look really nice.
Yea ive been to K&S a few times. It's a real nice store. They carry alot of things in stock.
So do you got a catback or just the muffler? A while back you drove by me in the opposite drection and I rolled down my window to hear your car, but I was to slow-lol

BTW, I forgot to mention that mine are clamp on. I just flipped the clamps so the bolts are facing up so they're not hanging down in plain sight.
You can't even tell they're there.

Hey joe if i passed you in the time it took you to roll down a window i obviously wasnt goin slow now was i? ;-) I really like the look of aj's, but i think im gonna end up havin mine welded on. i was talkin to the guys at k&s though, and they said the ones that have to be welded are usually better quality stainless steel, so im still not sure..nemore input guys?

I never said you were going slow

But anyway, just make sure you like them before you pay to have them welded on. I just wouldnt get anything less then 3" tips. But thats just my opinion.

If you want them email this guy.... dirtsqurtr@aol.com
He owns an exhaust shop in Indiana and he's the one I got mine from. They cost me $60/pr. Make sure you tell him that I sent you and what I paid.
